The Community Club: #1 Aubrey and the Fight for Life Shannon Simmons

Aubrey Addison envisions what would happen if someone in her school was diagnosed with cancer. What she doesn't know is that her daydream is absolutely true. Cynthia Hale was diagnosed with cancer more than a year and a half ago. Now her family is sure they can't afford the therapy she needs to survive. Without the money, and the therapy, Cynthia could die.

Luckily, Aubrey's club, the Community Club, is all about helping people. They won't let that happen. They feel sure they can help their new friend out. After all, the girls are dedicated and love what they're doing. They have faith in themselves and in each other. Everything is going to be fine. Raising the money should be no problem.

But reality soon sinks in. The girls are just kids, and this is a huge responsibility. There's a possibility that they won't be able to raise the money in the short amount of time. What would happen then? Would Cynthia find the money, or would she be unable to survive? Why does this situation have to be life or death? And most importantly, why is everyone assuming that things are going to be alright?
